The word 'Karbala' brings intense passion to every Muslim's mind. With historical facts, following the characters for three generations, this story offers crucial incidents and gruesome battles between the early Muslims and their polytheist enemies, who wanted to kill Prophet Muhammad (SAW) but failed. Abu Sufiyan, Prophet Muhammad’s (SAW) cousin brother, was the enemy's leader.
Beginning at the battle of Badar (624 AD), where Muhammad (SAW) and his followers fought these enemies, the story ends at the battle of Karbala (680 AD), where Abu Sufiyan's grandson, Yazid, sent his army that killed Huseyn, his immediate family, and followers. Huseyn was the last surviving son of Rashidun Caliph Ali.
This story, set in the medieval Middle East, will entertain and enlighten all readers. Still, the disappointed new generation of youth trying to understand the current global situation and only discovering universal deceit will find it more interesting. The story exposes intriguing murders of the Caliphs; ruthless leaders trapping a man to divorce his wife; a Caliph assassinated during a youth rebellion; a jealous wife killing her husband by poison; a series of bloody battles; and a powerful ruler convincing his incompetent son to kill his arch-enemy if he wanted to stay in power. Out of the numerous battles, a hero emerged as the 'Open sword of the Almighty,' and another reached the status of a saint. The readers will meet pernicious villains and egotistical leaders; not all were men, driven by temporal magnanimity, to commit terrible crimes and the demise of thousands of devoted soldiers. After Karbala, Muslims became divided into rival sects—the Sunni and the Shia. All these happened in a period when the Muslim empire of the Rashidun Caliphate extended to Morocco in the west; the eastern borders of Afghanistan and India to the east; Armenia and Azerbaijan in the north; and the Persian Gulf in the south.
